From the late 17th century to the dawn of the 20th, the magic lantern transformed storytelling into an enlivened visual experience.
Using period-era glass slides, magic lantern projectors, music and narration, the program encompasses tales of Victorian-era anthropomorphic animals, animated images, nautical disasters, and circus antics. This is a rare opportunity to marvel at hand-colored images, dissolving views, and animated effect slides, showcasing the remarkable visual experience of bygone times.
